At 110 KPH actual (with factory ratios and tyres) to comply with ADRs your Speedo should indicate somewhere between between 110 and 125 KPH
IE... 110 (not allowed to underread) and 125 KPH (allowed...

Your speedo and odo should be different.

The yanks have some very interesting reads, mind you their population has 10x the nuffy's so please do take mine and their posts with an open mind ;-)

Awesome fuel Rainsey, you gotta be happy with that mate :-)
Worthwhile I reckon getting a dyno report done now whilst it's all fresh so you could comparatively refer back to it say yearly and or...

CRD's would still benefit from LPG but the gains will be less because the diesel burn in CRD engines is better than in older diesels.
Common rail diesels are more efficient partly due to their...
